All in All?

What does it mean to truly give our all?
Here in America, we are so spoiled. Sure, we may work for our money, but never has there ever been a time where me, or my family, have ever gone lacking. Even with such a large family as mine, I can never recall us having to give up our needs. Our wants is another matter, but come on. Who of you doesn't own a computer? A phone? Or even more basic- a bed, a roof over our heads, and food on the table.
I was complaining so much lately because it seemed God wasn't providing the funds I needed for several different things in my life. Things I needed for my education, things my parents required me to get, and things for God's calling on my life. But, tonight as I complained about this again to God, He reminded me. I have more than enough in my bank account. Was I willing to give it all? Why did I need to have that sense of a buffer in my life? Is God enough?
And I pose that same question to you: is God enough in your life?
When that hit me, I was so ashamed of the little hissy fits I had thrown, mentally, and in prayer. Was I really conceited enough to assume that I could cover for any mistakes God might make with the funds I had now? God provides; He is our all in all! Why can't we trust Him?
Is God enough in your life? Do you seek His face every day? Do you cry for Him to break your heart for what breaks His? Have you lost your passion?
God will light a fire in your life again! Take Elijah when he was proving God's existence againt the armies and the prophets of Jezebel. He doused his altar with water, so much so that the water was running over and forming a pool at the side! If God can light an altar like that on fire, He can certainly rekindle the fire in your life!
So examine the priorities in your life; are you still holding onto your cushion in this life, or are you ready to give God your all?
Then Elijah said to all the people, "Come here to me." They came to him, and he repaired the altar of the LORD, which was in ruins. Elijah took twelve stones, one for each of the tribes descended from Jacob, to whom the word of the LORD had come, saying, "Your name shall be Israel." With the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD, and he dug a trench around it large enough to hold two seahs of seed. He arranged the wood, cut the bull into pieces and laid it on the wood. Then he said to them, "Fill four large jars with water and pour it on the offering and on the wood." "Do it again," he said, and they did it again. "Do it a third time," he ordered, and they did it the third time. The water ran down around the altar and even filled the trench. At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed: "O LORD, God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command. Answer me, O LORD, answer me, so these people will know that you, O LORD, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again." Then the fire of the LORD fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench. When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, "The LORD -he is God! The LORD -he is God!" 1 Kings 18:30-19
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
